The Village, West Tytherley, Salisbury, Hampshire, Sp5

A most attractive and surprisingly spacious extended four bedroom cottage set back from the lane with parking and an attractive garden situated in the heart of this popular rural village

A pretty Victorian semi-detached former workers’ cottage that has been sympathetically extended and now provides excellent family accommodation, including a large and versatile main living room, a separate cosy sitting room with fireplace and log burner, and an excellent farmhouse-style kitchen/dining room with glazed doors opening onto the main terrace and garden, together with a utility room and shower room on the ground floor. The first floor includes a large principal bedroom with Juliet balcony and a recently replaced en suite bathroom with separate shower, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The cottage also retains the former laundry, now a useful detached garden store with the original copper still in one corner, while a pretty garden wraps around the side and rear of the property with a south-westerly aspect, a further attractive garden extends to the front, and a large driveway provides ample parking. This pretty and extremely practical home is set in a beautiful and quiet village with a superb community and a range of amenities.

The property is situated in the heart of the picturesque village of West Tytherley which offers a Post Office/store, public house, primary school, nursery, church, village hall, recreation ground and play area, all within walking distance. The nearby village of Lockerley also has a store. Stockbridge High Street is within a 10 minute drive as well as Salisbury, Romsey and Winchester, all within a close driving distance and providing a comprehensive range of leisure and shopping facilities. There is also an excellent choice of state, grammar and private schools within easy reach. There is a main line railway station at Grateley (about 9 miles) with fast services to London Waterloo in about 75 minutes.
